Notes

Boca Chita harbor has a cleated bulkhead that is the only designated area where boats may dock. Boats may raft no more than two deep. An overnight docking fee of $25 is assessed between 6 pm and 6 am. Cash only. You pay by putting your exact amount in cash in one of their envelopes and dropping it in a strong box. (Use bills. Coins don’t fit in the slot very well.) Use of one individual campsite is included in the docking fee. Register at the kiosk next to the edge of the harbor. Dockage fee is $10 with a National Parks Golden Age Pass.
